"Life by Design" by Dr. Rick Brinkman an Dr. Rick Kirschner

 Have you ever wanted to improve your life or life situation but didn't know where to start?  Dr. Rick's book takes you through all the necessary steps for cultivating a life that is meaningful for yourself and others.  Each chapter has inspirational quotes and illustrations, as well as detailed descriptions of why the lesson is important.  Then, there are guided activities / journal prompts for the reader to complete.  Beyond just accomplishing a goal, Dr. Rick gets to the heart of values and why a person wants a specific goal.  As stated in the book, many unpleasant emotions and even some physical ailments are the result of people living in conflict with their most cherished values (some of which they are not even consciously aware of!).  Topics such as attitude, friendship, marriage, and world politics are even touched on.  I could go on and on but encourage readers to find out for themselves how to bring out the best in themselves.  I like how un-daunting this book is.  The chapters are short and the text isn't full of jibber jabber.  This is a fun yet practical no-nonsense guide to self-improvement.
